  5. State Dental Associations • Every State Association has an Executive Director • Most (if not all) have a Legislative Director • This is generally the chief Lobbyist for the Association and someone who knows the state’s members of Congress very well • You are encouraged to contact these individuals for help in planning “Meet and Greets” and sponsoring Lunch and Learns

  6. How ADPAC can help you! • Contact your ADPAC Board Member and invite him/her to your school • You can collaborate a presentation • Aruna has this contact info – or go to www.ada.org/advocacy for the list • ADPAC has money to give to you!!! • $250 grant for holding a Legislative Lunch and Learn • [PASS OUT ADPAC “KITS” HERE AND DISCUSS]

  7. Brainstorming Session • How are each of your schools succeeding/struggling in LGN-related activities? • Is there a positive relationship between your school and the State Dental Association? • Is there a positive relationship between your chapter and your administration? • What can we do to help you succeed?

  8. REGISTER FIRST • Arrange transportation and reserve hotel rooms • Hotel Deadline is not flexible • Contact legislator’s offices to make appointments • Be persistent if you don’t get a response after the first try, but wait a few weeks before trying again • Look up contact information atwww.house.govor www.senate.gov • Post appointments on ASDA Lobby Day Appointments website

  9. Choose ASDA and ADEA members to go • Talk to your administration about going • Our lobbying promotes their efforts also! • Fundraise – ask for help from your dean and state/local dental societies • Plan early – look for updates from ASDA central office about registration deadline

  10. After the meeting • Follow up! Be sure the members of Congress are thinking about ASDA and ADEA and the issues we lobby • Send thank you notes (email or paper)
